GRAND JURY FINISHES WORK

INVESTIGATION OF LTHEL YATES1 DEATH

of 11 el n ir Crlniliinlly
The district court grand Jury , which had
completed Its work Tuesday aftrnoon , mada
Its Html report to Judge Smith yesterday
morning , in the absence of Judge Thornell ,
and was discharged lor the term. A number
of Indictments we're returned , but only ono
of them was made public , the others being
withheld , as the defendants were not in
custody.
The indictment made public was against
Ell IJrown , the Uroadway grocer , on the
charge of uelllng and having In hi. ) posses
sion for aale oleomargarine containing col
oring matter In Imitation of butter , in viola
tion of the Iowa laws. The Indictment la
the result of prosecutions Instituted against
Hrowti and other dealers in this- city by
the state dairy commissioner and hU dep
uty. The others pleaded guilty nnd paid
flnos , but Urown took the otam ! that the
law waa unconstitutional and decided to
light the case , taking It to the supreme
court If necessary. Ilrown at once gave
ball for bis appearance.
Although the Indictments were not made
public , It was admitted In the couuty nt-
torney'H ofllce that the grand Jury had found
"truo bills" against S. J. James of South
Omaha , the "divine healer , " and Mrs. P. 11.
Yatca of Tabor , la. , on the charge of being
criminally responsible for the death of the
latter'a daughter , Ethel Yates , which oc
curred In this city January f > .
) The grand jury made the following report
on the city jail : "Wo have examine , ! the
city jail nt Council Bluffs nnd nnd that It
is not kept clean ; that It Is not properly
ventilated , and the prisoners confined there
are not sufficiently supplied with bedding.
A number of prisoners were confined In the
city Jail at the time of our visit , on Jan
uary 12 , 1900. "
Judge Smith Instructed the clerk of the
district court to call the attention of the
city authorities to the report of tlie grand
jury.
The report of the grand jury on the county
jail ehowed that It was In good condition.
_ The grand jury In the case of Justice Vlen
decided that there was no criminal Intent
on his part In withholding certain fees from
the county which ho claims are duo him for
ofllco rent and expenses , and County At
torney Kllpack will bring suit to rcco\-cr
the amount. This is exactly what Justice
Vlen desired , as the question can then bo
settled by the courts on an agreed tate-
ment of facts. In the event of the court
ruling against him , Justice Vlon Is at once
prepared to turn over the 1190 to the county
treasurer.
Judge Smith granted Mrs. Jennie Wlen-
berger a divorce from Joseph W. Wlen-
berger on the grounds of desertion.
Judge Smith will preside until Judge
Thornell returns from Atlantic , where he
was called In connection with matters re
lating to the defunct Cass County bank.

The supreme court of this state handed
down Tuesday two decisions which are of
vital Importance to this city. Ono was the
ruling In the Dea Molnes municipal electric
lighting plant case , nnd the other the de
cision In the Cedar Rapids municipal bond
caEe. Hoth are of peculiar Interest to the
people of Council Bluffs , as the city had
recently been contemplating letting a con-
tiact for a miinlclp.il lighting plant and be
cause the Cedar Rapids bond case bears di
rectly upon the issue of bonds recently
authorized by the city council to take up
tin ) outstanding general and water fund war
rants for the purpose ) of placing the city
or. a cash basis.
In the first case the supreme court holds
that a city practically cannot enter Into a
contract for the erection of a municipal
plant which Imposes on the city liabilities
In excess of the constitutional limit of
debt. In the case at bar the contract pro
vided Unit the plant should bo paid for In
Inrtallmcnts , ami at the conclusion of the
term covornl by the payments the plant
should become the city's'property. . This
was the B.-imo proposition that Alderman
Cns-por tried to Involve thin city In. The
ruling of the supreme court Is conceded to
deal a black cyo to all attempts of cities In
this state to obtain miiniclp.il ownership of
public utilities : The court In Its ruling salil ,
In part :
"II Is generally held that future revenues
may bo anticipated to meet contracts for
current expenses , but there Is radical dis
tinction between a contract to procure light
for a city and a contract for the construc
tion of an electric light plant , and the no-
ccbtlty for the plant would constitute no ex-
ciisti for the violation of the constitution.
\Vhero the contract Is for the erection of an
improvement nnd the tlmo of payment Is
postponed to Inter date nnd no special levy
is authorized to pay for the Improvement ,
then the rule Is well settled that the sums
to become duo In tlio futurn must bo taken
into account In estimating the existing debt.
AH a general rule a city may not anticipate
Its general revenue to be creatfd by a scheme
of general taxation. The legislative Intent
liar been to pluco the city on a cash basis
ami prvvent the accumulation of a IkutIns
Indc-btedncES. H Is said on behalf of the
city that it did not obligate itself to pay
more under the contract for the plant than
It had heretofore been paying for lighting.
Surh situation , however , does not authorize
tht > city to enter Into a contract for the con-
stiuctlon of n plant In violation of the con
stitutional limitation. The provision that
the city should rebuild the plant In case of
< ' ( r.trncton ! by fire or otherwise could not bo
enforcid If when tlmo for performance nr-
rived the city was Indebted to the consti
tutional limit. "
The proposition made by E. L. Draffcn nnd
the othpr Chicago bidders to erect an elcc-
trln lighting plant In this city to bo owned
lu the future by the municipality was on
the same bails as tbo Dea Molnes contract
called for.
The decision In the Cedar Haplcle "bond
case Is favorable to the Issue of the bonds
recently authorized by the city council.
Judge Dillon ot New York , to whom the val
idity of the- bonds was referred , has been
holding bis opinion back until the Cedar
Iluplds caeo was derided. Wallu the case
there and the proposed Issue here ore not
exactly analogous , etlll many of the tame
points are Involved In bolh. The $200,000
i IfFiie authorized by the city council was
proposed to take up the old outstanding
Ktnirnl and writer fund warrants and thus
place thu city on a cash basis. Ono of the
innln. point * Involved wna whether such
' Ifune of bonds would enilso tlio IndebtCilnejH
i of the city to exceed the constitutional limiter
or whether tlipy would simply tnko the
plncc of the warrants for which they were
to bo exchanged. The ruling of the supretmj
ccnrt sfems to alllrm the doclrlno that they
would not Intumso the IndebtednwH. In
thn light of this decision the city officials
anticipate a favorable derision from Judge
Dillon on the % nllillty of the Issue hero.

committees this morning by Speaker tJowen
was a complete surprise. For the last week
It has been whispered about that Howcn
wculd take euro of the people who helped
him to win tlio gavel nnd would turn down
completely those who opposed him. les
Molnes promoters of the Cummins candidacy
pictured the factional light that would re
sult. In the house and declared the Ocar
and Uowcn people would bo fought to the
bitter end of the session.
, This afternoon every ono Is complimenting
tlio speaker on his appointments. Ho has
given the best chairmanships to those who
; opposed him. The appointment of Baton to
the chairmanship of the moat Important
commllteo In the house , ways and means ,
wculd in Itself relegate all bitterness to the
past. H makes the defeated candidate the
most Important member of the house. Scc-
o'l.l on this committee Is Prentla of Hlnggold ,
who at one time wns a Gear sympathizer ,
but later threw nil his support for Baton
nnd Cummlngs. Uyers of Shelby , Stewart
of Polk and other prominent Cummins
people are members of the ways and means
committee. Following came Temple of
Clarke , chairman of Judiciary ; R. Ilyers of
Shflby. Carr of I'olk , Eaton of Mitchell
nnd IJIako ot Webster , four members who

liowen , at the conclusion of his announce
ment , stated that he wished to say a word
relative to the appointment of his oppo
nent for speaker , Baton , to the best chair-
lEKnshlp at his command. In brief he said :
"I feel I owe this word to Mr. Baton :
The appointment Is the result of my personal
wish. It was made as an Indication of per
sonal friendship , to show my high regard
of the gentleman's ability and
my appre
ciation of the way ho'has treated Senator
Ocar and his friends In the late campaign.
Mr. Eaton did not know of the appoint
ment and It was In fact made In opposition
to his expressed wish. "

Plymouth County Hoard of Supervisors has
just decided that newspaper exchanges are
subscribers. Olllclal proceedings of the
board must bo ' published In three county
papers of the' largest circulation. Four
publications competed. ' The light for the
third plum was between the Merrill Record

an affidavit that It had C21 subscribers.
The News filed 623 names. The News then
objected to the Record's list , on the ground
that exchanges were Included among the
